I did not have defending DRM on my bingo card. Transphobia is especially vile though.

I'll admit I took the bait, but I am more embarrassed for the instance that they got to actually defederate.

I'd rather students have more time off for lunch instead of learning why mickey mouse shouldn't be in public domain because of the evils of public domain or some dumb shit like that, defending multi billion dollar corporations. These shill posts are very cringe. Fuck copyright.

I think you succinctly described the problem the internet is facing. I am not even sure making it illegal to have information is really necessary anyway. Consider Googles Web Environment Integrity, DRM that can effectively control access to websites, a single company controlling the information we are allowed to consume. An economic system based on capital will always work against our interests.

This is why piracy is not only ethical, it is good for humanity to share information as widely as possible.

I worked as a cashier in a supermarket.

Some stores are very strict about coupons and do monitor what a cashier has in their drawer. I doubt most cashiers would even care if you stole from the store as long as it wasn't their problem.

These people are just trying to keep their jobs and the corporation that has its boot on their neck might be the only place that will hire them. Do you really expect them all to stop working and protest when they see their jobs being replaced? Come on, they have rent to pay and kids to feed. Have more empathy towards those suffering from capitalism.

Not all are connected, and I don't think it would be wise to do so in the long run anyway if I keep trying to preserve data like I am. Eventually I'll have a proper backup system and a dedicated NAS.

I keep everything I download as long as it's of sufficient quality on many large HDD's. Most of my media is then served through Jellyfin. Considering the state of the internet recently I think it's important to download what you care about before it becomes unavailable.

I'm not concerned with the 'morality' of copying files. I will because I can.

None. I run Jellyfin locally. No license bullshit or fifty different services. Don't even need internet if it goes down and I can curate my own library.

DRM is anti-user cancer. Denuvo is a good example why it's ethical to crack DRM and to never purchase anything that contains it.

I don't care if Jonah banged your mother or stole your lunch money. Compare privacytools VPN recommendations to privacyguides and then tell me why I should take anything privacytools says seriously.
